Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The national netball team \u2013 She Cranes \u2013 started their Tri-Nations Netball Test Series on Thursday on a low note after being beaten 49-34 by a resilient South Africa Spar Proteas side in a tightly contested game.<\/p>\n

The Ugandan side showed determination in the first three quarters before being overtaken by the hosts in the last game quarter.<\/p>\n

In the third minute of the first quarter, Uganda was trailing behind South Africa 3-1 before they shot to 10-8 towards the end of this quarter.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the shooting the prowess of Shadiah Nassanga and counterpart Irene Eyaru, the She Cranes managed to seal the gap and ended the quarter trailing 10-11.<\/p>\n

Defenders Shaffie Nalwanja and Joan Nampungu managed to check on the attacking prowess of South Africa in the second quarter. The sides would then draw 22-all.<\/p>\n

It was then 23-22 in favour of South Africa at halftime. Three minutes into the third quarter, Uganda\u2019s prolific shooter Nassanga went off due to injury and was replaced by captain Stella Oyella.<\/p>\n

The latter had started the opening quarter as a central player. Tausi Mumena would also replace Florence Adunia in defence with Sarah Nakiyonga playing in the centre. The third quarter ended in 37-27.<\/p>\n

Uganda registered some missed shots and stolen balls that gave chance to the Proteas to further increase the goal difference.<\/p>\n

Nassanga returned to the shooting circle while Susan Mukala was brought into wing attack but this did little to check on South Africa\u2019s progress hence the game ending 49-34.<\/p>\n

Uganda will face Namibia on Friday before playing against Baby Spar Proteas on Saturday. Coach Rashid Mubiru promised to correct the mistakes.<\/p>\n
